BMA impoes speed limit on boat services
Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has imposed the speed limit of 20 kilometres per hour on its boat services.
“We are confident that none of our boats will be racing against each other in a bid to get more passengers,” Deputy Bangkok Governor Amorn Kitchawengkul said Friday.
He was speaking in response to a widely-circulated video clip that showed two speeding big boats generated big waves that shook a pontoon at a pier so violently that all five women there fell and some almost bounced off into the water.
BMA’s fleet of 10 boats, however, has serviced along one extension route only. It stretches from Wat Sri Boonrueang to Min Buri. There are other boat operators in the field.
BMA has hired Subthananakorn Limited Partnership on operating the boat services for this extension route.
